Home Tax Guide

The push for lower taxes continues to resound throughout our nation as the tea parties gain more and more steam with an issue that is not going away!

We all know how much our federal government is wasting tax payer money and people are waking up to the waste and fraud within the states and local munipalities as well.  As this movement increases in size and volume, the smart politicians that want to get re-elected will have to get in line with the wishes of the people!

Many of the highest taxed states are hearing from homeowners who are tired of out of control property taxes as they continue to go up.  The heat is on against taxation in all forms.  Government will continue to find itself being held more and more accountable, whether they want to be or not.

On Saturday, September 12th, it was estimated that anywhere from 1.5 million to 3 million people descended on our nation’s capital to protest higher taxes and bigger government.  This movement continues to get stronger daily as more and more people are awakening to the reality of our hard earned money going to a growing government which does not seem to have the will to curb spending.

As someone who attended this event, there was one sign that really stood out in my mind among many creative ones.  It was, “we are not your ATM!”  Obviously, this was a reference to an out of control government and the spending going on throughout our nation.

The federal government is not the only one that is out of control.  Pennsylvania was without a budget for almost 80 days and, at this posting, appears on the verge of finally getting this settled.  Many other states were running late this year as well.

Locally, many municipalities have not brought property taxes down to reflect the drop in value due to the sub-prime issue.  What this means is, if your property was worth $200,000 and it dropped to $175,000, you should see a reduction in your property taxes.  Don’t hold your breath waiting for your assessor to issue you an abatement (refund).  You must be pro active and take charge of this yourself and you can now do this with the Home Tax Guide (www.hometaxguide.com).  For a very small investment of only $48.00, you could put yourself and your family on the path to save hundreds and, in some cases thousands of dollars over the next several years by addressing this challenge which is costing property owners throughout the country much more than it should.

Don’t be a spectator thinking there is nothing you can do.  The Home Tax Guide can be one more tool in your tax saving arsenal!

One additional tip: Think seriously about starting your own home based business.  There are many opportunities out there and coaches that can help get you quickly off the ground!

Many taxpayers will be peacefully protesting against big government on Saturday, September 12th in Washington, DC.  There are supposed to be tens of thousands of people attending this and it will be a very interesting day for all of those attending.

Part of being involved with a strong Republic is participating in the process and letting our views becoming known.  As one example of government “estimates” being way off is the Medicare program.  In 1965, the government estimated that, by 1990, the costs for Medicare would be $9 Billion dollars.  In reality, it was $67 Billion dollars!  This has occurred time and time again with government “estimates” being way off what they have projected.

Do not let the sub-prime issue that has eroded your home values by 15-25% depending on where you live.  You should legally be able to get these reduced, if, you learn how to speak the tax assessor’s language.  If you are waiting for them to roll your taxes back without your pro active efforts to encourage this, you will be waiting a long time!  It will not happen and you will have a higher property tax bill than you should and be paying more than your fair share.

Get involved in government at various levels and learn about how you can protect yourself from excessive taxation!

The Tea Party movement continues to gain momentum in our nation.  On September 12th, in Washington, DC, tens of thousands of people will be descending on our nation’s capital with peaceful protests against an ever expanding government.

The Tea Party Express is currently making its way across our nation and will end up in Washington in time for 9/12 as well.

The goal of the 9/12 project is to remind people of how united this country was right away on 9/11/01 with the terrorist attacks that killed 3000 Americans.

Locally, you can counter high property taxes in high tax states by going through and using the Home Tax Guide (www.hometaxguide.com).  These local taxes are just as much of a burden and sometimes more than some of your federal taxes.  Pay attention to all forms of taxation, educate yourself and pay only your fair share.  Do not pay more out of ignorance!  The tools of education are here and they are excellent resources that can save you hundreds and maybe thousands of dollars for a reasonably small use of your time.
